I asked my Sister to tell me something happy that happened today with
Michael, my Autisitc Nephew, she replied with an extraordinary moment:

She said, “Everyday Michael tries to communicate with his
friends at school and he ends up stuttering quite a bit making it
difficult to get words out he wants to. Every morning we practice
how what to say to his classmates and how to say it. This morning
Michael grinned and said everything smoothly and correctly! He was
so beside himself evoking pure delight as he ran into the grassy
field and played with his friends!”

My sister was so proud that all the hard work paid off; moments like
this extraordinary one come from the direct attention Michael deserves
in a healthy environment. With one parent to work and limited outside
help Mom is forced to stay home more. Meanwhile finances are getting
so tight they are often in the negative in their bank. They have been
so diligent to build up their credit. Currently, they are waiting for
their food stamps to be approved, social security pays limited funds,
therefore there is no way to save.

Michael is 6 years old and was recently diagnosed with Autism. I love
my Nephews but they are too far away for me to directly help them!
Living in Phoenix, Arizona, Michael needs regimented patterns to keep
him happy and healthy. He has been in and out of the ER since the day
he came home from the hospital. In infancy he struggled with several
seizures that followed in the years to come. There were many
tear-filled hours in the hospital bedside where we didn’t now if we
would loose him in such a fragile state.

I a so proud of my Sister and Michael’s Dad of their accomplishments
they have overcome and what strenuous obstacles the faced. They moved
to Phoenix to begin a new life and create a family away from personal
hardships. Dad lost his job and Mom was forced to stop her education
in the medical field. I believe success is when you change your life
and make choices that others can benefit from helping others to heal
and exuding positive energy to better those they reach.

With Dad away and mom working endless hours, Michael needs to be
around more family that can help. Although a bubble of love surrounds
him created by his parents and extended family in California, Michael
needs more direct attention and care. My Sister works trying 12 hour
shifts through the night as a nurse and also a second job in hospice,
constantly caring for her family and needs of others. Dad has just
passed crucial tests for potential work in California doing Pipe
Fitting and Construction; we are extremely proud. Dad is currently in
California doing small jobs and side work to send little to nothing
back to home away from his family.

The Funds Donated are to ensure the safe travel and new beginnings
for a small family of four and two therapy dogs. We are looking to
raise up to $7,000 to be used solely for Michael’s future in better
healthcare and proper education, for moving expenses to California,
stability for rent in case a job falls though for Mom or Dad and
potential emergencies. These are good people and family that are
working towards a dream, please help! Thank you for reading!
